A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.

Sweet 15

"You know why your eyes are so beautiful? Because I can see how much you could care for me when I look at 'em."

The moment you leave and realize that all of your body yearns to turn around.

Stroking an arm for an hour, content with the simple physical contact of hand to hand.

Extreme comfort in the presence of a near stranger.

As if in a past life you had known each other in that deep trust invoking way.

Their voice captivates you as much as what they are saying.

You are not worried about finding out something that could jeopardize the ideality of the relationship but excited to explore the entire concept of the other person.

Oh the things I (over)hear


(1)I don’t have a straitjacket
(2)The last time I had one I was occupied
(1)They didn’t let you keep it did they?
(2)hahaha

Longly put...

From a couple of days ago but posting now...


I feel like I need a moment or perhaps a day. I may just need to go “offline” for a bit. I would rather spend a day with one of my good male friends, hanging out and getting hugs. It is times like these that I find my indestructibility faltering. I think that I have made enemies, not in the sense that they will try to kill me if they see me, but they definitely hold a grudge against me and I’m sure if they had the opportunity they would love to make my life harder for me.

I have met 14 guys from online and this last week I have met some that were more unusual than most. I believe I have been exposed to the type that I would define as “closet asshole.” They will lie to your face to get what they want and when they don’t get it, the real person inside comes out and gives you what for. They have chips on their shoulders and have pronounced opinions about who people are. It’s your basic self-fulfilling prophecy in action. I have been out with guys who have called me names, made racist comments about me, called me ugly, closed minded, dissed my mother, dissed my school, dissed my lifestyle, etc.

I will just be stronger and better equipped to handle the next disaster. Yet, perhaps number 15 will be the one that satisfies all levels in a relationship and is truly who they say they are in action.

Summer camp

Love hate relationship

Next week is Sci Warts, I better study up on my Harry Potter knowledge as well as the science involved.

Hit and Run lady

Dear irresponsible and rude old lady,

   Number one you are setting quite the bad example. You only get away with what you did because of the failure of our justice system. If I had my way I would reverse plate you and find out your personal information, then I would find you and give you a piece of my mind. Rest assured that karma will get you. Personally I think you shouldn't be on the road and that your license should be revoked. To disregard common courtesy like that was extremely rude. I wouldn't have minded that you gave my car a minor scratch if you had stopped and apologized, because I'm pretty sure I have done more damage to my car in the past (though not on another person's property). I was quite shocked that you had the gall to hit my car when you had plenty of room to back up without touching my car but I guess what should I expect when you had parked in the disabled parking spot (you probably are blind and deaf). I was also quite shocked that you had the gall to continue on your merry way at 5mph when there were plenty of witnesses watching in disbelief at your misconduct. Congratulations for being the daily douche. Actions like this make me pity society and the future of humanity. You should know better, being what looked like 60+ and of all places a Mystics faire (aren't people who go to those things open minded and more genial to general society?). Anyways,

Sincerely,

Shocked and annoyed but assured that karma will get you in the end,

Rachel

LMFAO

I wanna make an LMFAO costume for a wall and only do their style dance. So I need: big goofy glasses, springy black wig, some bling, white shirt/regular shirt, snazzy jacket with only one sleeve, tight party pants, belt, shoes that say party rock

I'm thinking something like this....

new geocache idea

Geocache flashmob. If it's possible to 'hide' a geocache that is time sensitive. All the geocachers will meet at a certain place at a certain time. It will be a notable Sarasota location with plenty of space and plenty of muggles. The fun will be in pretending you're a muggle until a certain time and then as a group doing something, just like a flashmob!!!!! Now all I have to think of is the place and see if I can utilize the website for my own flashmob purposes....

Geocaching this past month (26 found, 3 hidden)

Stay tuned for a photo log of my geocaching adventures with new and old friends. A great way to bond, have adventures, or break the ice. My new hobby and avenue towards new goals. I want to find all the geocaches in Sarasota! 


My very first geocache find, it was as big as those two little dots



Note the 'micro' size on this geocache

Yay I found it!

It had already been scavenged

But we found it anyways....

I can't believe I couldn't find this the first time I looked, see how big it is?!!!!

This is why geocaching with Nicole is good, she will stubbornly find nearly every one. 

Accidental find? Nope, we were looking for it!

We let Casey do the honors

So much treasure!

Nicole's very first find ever!

The four geocachers July 4th

This sucker was hard to find the way we went

Really? We coulda just gone around?



"Nicole always finds it, Rachel just follows. Bushwacking to the extreme!"


What she took as her prize

How far in the woods are we, care to guess?

Can you tell that it is pouring rain?

We got soaked, but it was worth it!

Accidental photo






What face

The What Face is contagious!

Hanging from a tree

Not proper geocaching attire



camo


Super camo

What looks like it doesn't belong?


Nifty idea

But it was full of ants

Plus the log was stuck inside

But it was still super crafty

I found it, I found it...

Camo of a different kind



I see a theme with the treasures that she chooses

That doesn't really go there...Or does it?



Can you find the geocache?


Soaked log


Disintegrating log

I found this one!

She actually put it back in too far and had to fish it back out so the next geocachers could get to it.

In between a golf course and a back road


Key holder!

I found it 



Whoa, super long!


Camo film cannister






Yes that is my car

Yes I pulled off randomly on the side of the road

Yes I off roaded slightly and backed up right next to that tree

Yes we found it

Finally

Because it was up this high (points)

So high in fact that we used my car as a ladder

To reach that sucker

Where's the bathroom?



Accidental picture that turns out quite nice


Yay camo duct tape!

Ooh a bunch of... trash

That's not treasure! 




If it rains, this will get soaked.

Clever hide and easy find using newfound geosense



Crafting our own treasures

Energy Monsters!

Steven made them

I think they're pretty nifty




They were acting naughty

So we had to contain them


Our first geo hide!


Muahaha come find me!


Why did this take so long to find?

It was right where it said it should be.

Beam!



Look ma, I found it!
